Are you due at Court?

​

First Hearing

Going to Court for the first hearing is a big deal. It is often the first chance to see the evidence against you. The Court will want a plea from you and if you plead guilty you can be sentenced there and then. You only get one chance at a first hearing, good preparation and smart tactics are needed to make the right decisions about your case. Don’t risk using the duty solicitor or the firm that has already got you charged, let me take control, now is the time to act so I can advise you of your options before the first hearing.

​

Trial

If you are facing a Trial it is essential you have the best possible preparation and representation. Your character, employment, liberty, friendships and relationships are all on the line. Let me give you the best chance of success. 

 

Sentencing

If you are due for sentencing it is damage limitation time, but there is still much to play for. I can ensure you get the best possible sentence to avoid prison or a community service.

​

Preparation

If you can’t get legal aid or afford a solicitor to represent you fully for trial or sentencing I can help you by assisting with the preparation of your case. I can assess prosecution evidence, help gather defence evidence, prepare witness statements, prepare questions for witnesses or help with written mitigation for sentencing.
